I've gotten to the recall part of my lesson and I would like to write but don't know how. Do I need a special keyboard, or is there an onsite keyboard?

You can use the spanish accents at the bottom of the recall activity.

You can also add the spanish accents to your keyboard. using this method you can switch your keyboard from enlgish to spanish... Simply click on the "start" menu in the bottom left corner of your computer. Search the term "language" and then click on "keyboards and languages". You will now see the option to add another language to your keyboard. After you choose your language, you can switch back and forth from english and spanish with a click of the mouse.

You'll see the special characters at the bottom of the input box where you're writing your answers. Click on the needed one to enter it in your answer.

Star, here are the short cuts:

For PC users:

ñ alt + 164

á alt + 160

é + alt 130

í + alt 161

ó + alt 162

ú + alt 163

The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:

¿ Alt + 0191

¡ = Alt + 0161

For Mac Users:

á = Opt + e, then a

é = Opt + e, then e

í = Opt + e, then i

ó = Opt + e, then o

ú = Opt + e, then u

ñ = Opt + n, then n

ü = Opt + u, then u

The inverted punctuation marks are achieved as follows:

¡ = Opt + 1

¿ Opt + shift + ?

Type Spanish accents without a Spanish keyboard

This does require the step of copy and paste.
